There
must have been something in the water for this episode. Two
sisters decided it was time to hit the sheets. We'll get
more into that within the article. Things seem to be moving
along on the show now that we are finally done with the
possession storyline. We are still picking up the pieces
from that story. It was fine, but it lasted a little too
long. It should have stayed focused on Marlena, but the
writers insisted on adding Johnny and Allie to it. We won't
focus on that because the story is done.
The
writers decided to write Ben and Ciara out of the show. We
aren't going to pretend that we are upset about that
decision. They haven't been crucial to any storylines for a
while. The actress who plays Ciara refuses to stay committed
to the show so there's no point showing her briefly. We
aren't big fans of this couple so we won't shed any tears
about them being apart. We do have a problem with the way
they are being written out of the show. The writers want us
to believe that they are the next Bo and Hope. They couldn't
be more wrong about that. They are nothing like Bo and Hope.
The writers clearly haven't paid attention to Bo and Hope's
classic storyline. Anyway, they've decided to have Ben and
Ciara sail around the world the same way Bo and Hope did. It
was special the first time around. It doesn't mean anything
now that they are doing it. We want them to go, but they
could have decided to move away just to get out of town. We
could have lived with that storyline. We don't want them
trying to recreate a historic couple through them.
EJ
and Belle decided to heat things up. They were about to make
love when Sami showed up. It was like a soap opera troupe.
We didn't have a problem with that at all. It was a juicy
soap moment. Belle decided to put the brakes on their
lovemaking session because she thought EJ was trying to get
revenge on Sami by being with her. We had to watch that
scene with disbelief. She clearly forgot that she was the
one who demanded they be together because she was mad at
Shawn. She couldn't stand the idea that Shawn kept Jan out
of prison until the baby was better. She is a mother so she
should have understood that Jan would want to take care of
her baby. We were cheering when EJ reminded her that she ran
to him when Shawn did something she didn't like. She
expected him to believe that she wasn't using him even
though she probably was using him. Their issue with using
each other didn't mean anything because they decided to make
love after all.
Sami
and Lucas also decided to make love in this episode. If you
have paid attention to our previous articles, then you know
that we are Lumi fans through and through. We have been
waiting for years to see them get back together. We couldn't
stand the fact that the writers insisted on shoving EJ and
Sami down our throats. They insisted on getting all of us to
believe they were the end game. They didn't convince all of
us because we weren't fooled by that at all. We never wanted
to see Sami with EJ. We always rooted for Sami and Lucas to
be together. They are a couple with history and should be
together. We were happy to see them get engaged. It would
have meant so much more if the proposal wasn't tainted. We
know they are going to break up when the truth about her
kidnapping comes out. The writers had to find a way to ruin
Sami and Lucas getting back together. They may as well have
kept her with EJ since they are going out of their way to
make sure Lumi don't stay together.
The
writers decided to include a twist in the episode. We will
tell you what the twist is and then express our opinion
about it. Everything isn't as it seems when it concerns
Jan's baby. Orpheus dropped a bomb on Evan. He told him that
he had another child. It shouldn't take much to put two and
two together and you have the secret. This was a stupid plot
twist. There's no way to know that Jan was with Evan and got
her pregnant. The devil had her seduce Shawn to break up
Belle's relationship. There was no need to add a baby to the
storyline if Shawn wasn't going to be the father of the
baby. We know they had to give Shawn and Belle conflict, but
this wasn't necessary.
